Flyers forward Vinny Lecavalier could be on the move this offseason and the Flyers are wasting no time testing the waters. TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Insider Trading tonight the Flyers have had talks already with Lecavalier's agent about the move. "[Lecavalier's] a fourth line forward making $4.5 million," Dreger said. "I can't believe [Flyers general manager] Ron Hextall wants to pay him that. So the word on the street is yes, Vincent Lecavalier is most definitely in play.

"But keep in mind he has a no-movement clause. I know that [Lecavalier's] agent Kent Hughes has already talked to Ron Hextall about the possibility of moving Vincent Lecavalier. No specific teams yet. No list yet but if they want to move him they're going to have to go to Vinny and identify a specific place."

This isn't the first time Lecavalier's name has been mentioned as a possible name on the move this offseason. His name popped up as a possible target of the Nashville Predators in the wake of Nashville's hiring of former Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette. One of the reasons Lecavalier cited for signing with the Flyers was Laviolette and his system. Lecavalier only got to play three games in that system before the Flyers fired the coach back in October.

The former No. 1 overall pick didn't seem to fit in all that well in head coach Craig Berube's system and found himself relegated to a fourth line center role and a power play specialist on the Flyers' second power play unit. To show how far the former All Star had fallen in the eyes of Berube, Lecavalier only played 8:45 in Game Seven against the Rangers on April 30th and did not play in the third period.

In any move, the Flyers would likely have to eat part of Lecavalier's contract as his cap hit does not match his impact on the ice. The 34-year-old scored 20 goals and dished out 17 assists for 37 points in 69 games this season for the Flyers but only had one goal and one assist in the seven-game series against New York in the playoffs.

For a team as center-heavy as the Flyers being able to unload Lecavalier would be a God-send. New general manager Ron Hextall said he prefers younger players so if it comes down to picking between Brayden Schenn and Lecavalier, it appears Hextall will side with the youthful Schenn.
